Math Problem Statement

(2x^2 + 12xy - 11) + (6x^2 - 2x + 4) + (-x^2 - y - 2)

Solution

The expression in the image is as follows:

(2x2+12xy11)+(6x22x+4)+(x2y2)(2x^2 + 12xy - 11) + (6x^2 - 2x + 4) + (-x^2 - y - 2)

Now, let's simplify this expression by combining like terms.

Step-by-step simplification:

  1. Group the x2x^2 terms: 2x2+6x2x2=7x22x^2 + 6x^2 - x^2 = 7x^2

  2. Group the xyxy term: 12xy12xy

  3. Group the xx terms: 2x-2x

  4. Group the constants: 11+42=9-11 + 4 - 2 = -9

  5. Group the yy term: y-y

So, the simplified expression is:

7x2+12xy2xy97x^2 + 12xy - 2x - y - 9
